Wouldn't it become more censored in a way? It would end up being like compartmentalization.

I love that I can go on the internet and find different ideas and concepts than the one's I am used to. If there were more than one internet, everything would suddenly become part of a genre.

Saptaparna ~ Seven-leaves, sevenfold; the man-plant, sevenfold man, seven-principled human being. ~ Spinning infinity. The wheel is spinning me and it's never ending.~ What if I say I'm not like the others? What if I say I'm not just another one of of your plays?

We need a Star Trek type of communication device, it can be basic, look plain, and do everything we'd expect from a computer w/internet capabilities. Fuckin' play music, bring up a platform where I can type a bunch of shit, maybe have some games... maybe some lasers 'n shit.

a new internet needs to be based on another approach to information, communication.

and you not need to erase the old one to achieve this.the tools are there.facebook or google might have achieved it, but they used the same old approach to it.because of that the result is the same ratio of junk/noise to meaningful content.

the first wave of internet which is still in place was oriented on storing every piece of information, irrelevant of its usefulness.now that we have this huge pile of shit with all the gems of the world hidden in it, maybe it's time for some cleaning

for example i would think a great asset to this forum in terms of allowing for content oriented meaningful discussions the possibility of the thread creator inviting only specific users to contribute to the discussion, eliminating from the start the possibility of distorting the topic. just a thought :)

I agree. Does not the government have intranet? Seems like private enterprise could have something similar. I remember a few years back playing poker on an "underground" poker site. By that it was a non internet location but on the computer. We used ICQ to instant message too.

GLP could set it up maybe where we could keep in touch if the kill switch is activated. But since the government controls all the bandwidths would an off shore location for transmission be needed. To be sure I am showing my ignorance about now.

" At the siege of Vienna in 1683 Islam seemed poised to overrun Christian Europe. We are in a new phase of a very old war."

"May we smite our enemies to the darkest chamber of hell, for we wish only to live in peace, and they desire only to put their boot upon our neck."

Simply put, the Internet now represents to me a form of primitive telepathy, telepathy based on circuitry, to be exact. Undoubtedly because he deals with the nuts and bolts issues of building networks on a daily basis, and thus has little time for actually gathering heretofore unobtainable information from the Internet, he was unable to understand what I was trying to say.

For that reason, I decided not to get into what led me to this new view of the Internet, but actually it could be called the mother of all "conspiracy theories," i.e., that people many thousands of years ago were telepathic, and that human language was created to divide and conquer the human race. I have absolutely no idea if this theory--well, actually a hypothesis or a contention--is true, but it led me to start thinking about what human life would be like if we didn't have to actually verbalize our thoughts and translate them across the arbitrary barriers we call "natural languages."

probably have to be 99% wireless and each packet envelope fully encrypted (can you say slooow), since the big telecom companies own all the wires and uncle sam gets a copy of everything that travels over them diverted out to their new data fortress in utah.

also, unless someone who is outside the gov's reach has the wherewithal to lay their own undersea cables or launch their own com satellites and protect them from deliberate destruction, i just don't see it happening.
